Old town Auburn

It’s great when you can combine three things you love. In this case, it was friendship, food and photography. Four of us met in the old section of Auburn for lunch; and afterward, my friend Jean and I did a little photography.

Friendship: we’ve been meeting for about 10 years now as a group. We’ve changed our purpose several times, but with two of us sort of retired, we decided to just meet without a purpose.

Food: The many small restaurants in town are all wicked good. It’s difficult to be a Weight Watcher and eat out in Auburn. This small town is at the base of the Foothills and the I-80 gateway to Truckee and Lake Tahoe, CA, and Reno, NV. It’s a typical small downtown area with boutiques, etc.

Photography: Jean and I didn’t have much time to walk around and shoot, but I think we did well with the time we had. And, of course, shooting after lunch meant dealing with the sun. One of these days, I’m going to do what a real photographer would do–go out early or late.
